I have a gift card for 20.00 but was just wanting to go have a few drinks, will they give you cash back if you only spend 6.00 bucks

No, and I honestly wouldn't expect any restaurant to do that.

Are there any drink or taco special today?

$10 pitchers of margaritas. Tacos are on flour tortillas unless you specify you want maize.

Calories and nutrients?

I don't think they have those easily available

The service was nice and quick but the food was extremely bland and the chips taste of grease. It was on my way home and that is the reason I choose to eat there this evening I might not next time just being honest. I paid $32 bucks for two chimichanga meals, a bowl of queso, a Sprite, and a small margarita.

Good food and great service! Not a huge fan of Mexican food most of the time, however what I had was wonderful. I do not like tomatoes, however the ones in my dish were actually quite good. Great atmosphere, and everyone seemed very friendly!

Very rude & impatient when I was able to get the waiters attention. Spilled a drink & waiter gave me 2 napkins. While waiting to pay for my bill, other workers walked past as tho I wasn't standing there. Employee finally walked up to the counter but to only answer the phone for an order. Took 15 mins for someone to check me out. Horrible customer service.

Lack-luster service, like warm food. Flavors were ok but cheese sauce had water in it to thin it out. Nothing like a soggy chimichanga.

Pretty solid. Quick service. If you want salsa that doesn't taste like canned Italian sauce, ask for the green sauce. The red sauce is yucky. Chile rellenos pretty good.

I had ordered something that had grilled chicken while I ask for no peppers and no onion there were not any pepper but there were onions in it and I was not happy about that and on top of that the grilled chicken was so dried out! And also the salsa for the chips is so nasty but anyway I called them because I ordered from GrubHub since I was at work and they refused to give me a new order or even give me my money back because they said my order was fine I will never ever order from them again

My favorite Mexican restaurant of all time! We've hardly ever had to wait to get seated here. The food is always good quality and hot. They get your food out to you so quickly sometimes that you aren't even finished with chips and salsa--that's a good thing! The staff is friendly and attentive.

The portion I got was a reasonable size, but the person I came with received a really skimpy portion (he had to eat again after we got home to fill up). Also, the food was OK, but not something that especially wowed us. The staff was pretty friendly, they worked very quickly, and there was no wait for a table, so all-in-all I'd give them a 3/5.

I'm from Texas and so far this is the best in the area that I've found that is close to my Tex-Mex. Service usually really good.

If I wanted microwaved food and flies I could have stopped at Quickstop and ate in the parking lot. Sitting outside I've seen about 3 wasps and the chips were only crumbs. Fajitas were greasy. Overall food was less than good. I only have one suggestion to fix this. Close the doors, save what money you have left. Good luck.

Food was ok. Chips were great. I ordered a side of sliced jalapenos and instead of getting fresh sliced jalapenos I got some that were canned. Not good. The sprite was too sweet, not mixed correctly. Salsa is not the best. The chili rellenos are sometimes good, other times not cooked enough and tough. The staff are friendly and the price is good. Definitely recommend Las Margaritas over this place.

Hands down the most authentic Mexican food and flavorful restaurant in Como. Take it from a Mexican American that grew up in southern California and I'm a great cook as well, I know Mexican food. I don't know about the snobby people that left bad reviews that didn't grow up with Mexican food. Go to Taco Bell instead! I've tried a few places in Como and this is by far the best place! The food is great, the service is awesome, prices are good as well. Great atmosphere for everyone.

Although they dont have a real chalupa. I will ignore that. They do offer a good portion of food for the pricing. But their margaritas are weak from what I hear

Always a great place to go for a special occasion. We can hang out with friends/family, the chips and salsa are the best around town, (I've looked!), and it's great all-around! 5/5
